Biography
Five Students Die In A Smashup ARLINGTON, Tenn., May 8 - (AP) - Five Baylor university students were killed near here early today in a head-on smashup of their sedan and a trailer truck loaded with heavy materials. The dead were tentatively identified as: Jimmy Nelson, 22, Dallas, Tex. Betty Pierson, 19, Waco, Texas Jeannette Boyd, 20, Dallas David Roy Figart, 20, Waco. James Percival Langly, Jr., 23, Sacramento, Calif. Langley's landlady, contacted at Waco, said the five students left there last Monday to go to Lexington, Ky., so Figart's family could meet Miss Pierson, his Fiancee. The five bodies were taken to Memphis, 30 miles east of here. [The Sedalia Democrat; Sedalia, Missouri; May 8, 1950]
